FORGET ME NOT.
When far away
Thy footsteps stray
Mid scenes in oilier lands.
Where strangers meet
Indifferent greet
And coldly press thy hands.
Oh! waive (o me,
Faro’er^hc sea
The dearest thought—I think of the£:
The sweetest thought
TliouVt n«*l forgot.
While hack shall float,‘Forget me not.’
Though year may glide
A down the tide,
Old lime Lis way pursue—
Tho' parted yet,
Do net forget
The dear old li lends, and true,
Life t*.i!l may cheer,
Though sometimes drear,
And'rays of sunshine gild tiie tear:
What o'er thy lot.
Time ne'er shall blot
Thee from my heart—forget me not.
In morning hours,
When brightest flowers
When sweetness gently sigh :
When twilights throw
A purple glow
On wood and Irke and sky:
When moonlight beams
And starlight glea ns
Fly back to me iu sweetest dreams—
Hack to e ach grot
And cherished spot,
That silent breathe, ‘Forget me not.’
THE UNFINISHED PLAYER.
‘Now I lay,’—repeat it da ding—
‘Lay me,’ lisped the tiny lips
Of mydaughti r, kneeling, bending
O'er her folded finger tins.
•Down to sleep-,—‘to sleep.’ she mur
mured.
And the early lu-ad Lent low;
‘I pray the Lord,' I gently ad-led,
‘You can say it all, I know.’
‘Pray the Lord*—the sound came faint-
iy-
Faintcr still—‘My soul to keep;’
Then the tiled head fairly nodded,
And the child was fas-, asleep.
Hut the dewy ye c half opened
When I cln ped her to my breast,
An 1 the dear voic-i softly wl ispered,
‘Mamma, Cud knew*, all the rest.’

In every oi-ior interest in ibis coun

accomplish important remits, is put iu

association.
The Press of the conn:rv presents
the only exception to a ruleVo saluta
ry, and so largely productive of great
results.
It occurs to nm. Sir. that, in view of
the recent hostile legisla’ion of Coo*
gross, upon .ho newspaper question,
reiu.ial o: our Legisi iture to pay
even the sma.l courtesy ot referring to
a committee a memorial from the
journalists of the Mate, seeking relict
from an enormous and an uuusal law.

lower House of Congrcu, the time
has come for themeuiDei' of our no
ble craft throughout the I.m 1 to com
bine not only lor their own protection,
but for the far gi under and loftier pur
pose of making the great power they
unquestionably p-»s> * available lor
the protection o: constitutional liberty
from the encroachments anj usurpa
tions of greedy and unscrupulous
fower,
The father of his country’ in a letter
to Mathew Carey once said, “For my
self I entertain a high opinion of the
utility of periodical publications. I
consider such easy vehicles of kuowl-
w , more happily calculated than
any other, to preserve the liberty,
stimulate the industry, and meliorate
the morals of an enlightened and free
people.”
it our own interests may be pro
tected aud promoted; that the price
less hoou of liberty, of which wc should
be die peculiar guardians may he
retained by ns, dud handed dov.ii ;.1I
uui: ipaired, to our children, it is im-
? ortant that the vast power of the
‘re L s, now diffused through a thou*
Sana channels, should be combined
into one great volume of strength and
force.
T-> secure an end, at. once so desira
ble and so easy of attainment, aud
far reaching in its beneficent results,
I oiler the following resolutions.
